[Hallicrafters] vibrator how it works

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hey Gerry,

You need to understand that the younger generation cut their numeric 
calculation neurons by being taught the "new math". Which like most of the 
latest and greatest educational concepts, does not work in the real world. 
Simulations are one thing, but reality determines those who survive and 
those who become organic fertilizer! The same can be said for the 
fundamental rules for writing a technically correct, and still 
comprehensible and meaningful, essay. This idea of ignoring spelling, as it 
reduces ones powers of creativity, is simply flushable! History has shown 
man, but man has failed to learn for the most part, that learning something 
takes half the effort of unlearning it! So learn it right the first time! It 
saves times, conserves each of our limited finite energy reserves for other 
challenges and helps one cultivate an orderly and efficient work/learning 
ethic.

Remember the "Secretary"? She could type over 80 words per minute with zero 
errors. Said 'errors' including incorrectly spelled words, correct grammar 
and proper use of punctuation. She would now and then pick up a college 
level dictionary to check on a word or tense of a verb. The hand typed end 
product was flawless and ready in a matter of minutes.

She accomplished all of this with no computer, no spelling checker, no 
grammar correction software etc. Just try and find a "real" Secretary 
nowadays!

So Gerry, if you have to explain 'watt's up' to those who have serious 
'Hertz' in the electronics department, just grin and bare the ends of those 
wires!
